From Comparative Risk to Decision Analysis: Ranking Solutions to Multiple-Value Environmental Problems

Authors

Abstract

While recognizing that the making of environmental policy is sufficiently complex that no one method can serve all conditions, Dr. Kadvany urges that more attention be given to multiattribute utility and decision analysis. He suggests this can help, e.g., to illuminate stakeholder values and generate alternative approaches.
